    Fabulous lunch at Lunar today! Or first visit, but we'll definitely be back. We went for the 2 course lunch deal which is great value, but the food was so good that we ordered sides and desserts. The service was helpful and friendly throughout and they did a great job with my mocktail and our half shot lattes (not many places get that right!). Thank you!

    We used this restaurant in the past and it was amazing. However there has been a recent change in management and the standards have dropped. No one approached us after the food was served to check that we were happy with the food is just one detail. In the ladies toilets there was paper in only 2 out of the 5 cubicles and no hot water in the taps for hand washing. These are minor details but if things like this are slipping what else is below standard for what was a Michelin starred restaurant?
    LunarResponded 1 day ago
    Lunar has never held a Michelin star, is not striving for Michelin stars, Lunar is not under new management and has a truly wonderful, passionate team who work tirelessly to give our guests great quality food, beverages and an overall quality experience at what we consider to be a fair price point. In any hospitality setting please always talk to the team wherever you are, tell someone if there is no hot water, we need that help, we don't always get it right, we're human but in our industry boy do we work hard to try to get it right. The lack of toilet paper is disappointing to read from our perspective and we are sorry we did not check in after your food was served but not sure these warrant a 2 star review!

    Beautiful lunch we had the 2 course special for £22.50. The sweetcorn soup was the nicest soup I have ever tasted a large bowl and steaming hot with beautiful bread and butter. Divine I wish I had ordered two soups. Main course fish and chips large portion and cooked beautifully. Everything was lovely and the staff were nice however it was busy and there were only three staff on which was not enough as we waited a good 45 mins between the starter and main course to come out which was a shame as this did spoil it a little. This is not the fault of the staff as they were working very hard but it was obvious to see they needed more staff. Would definitely recommend and will be going for the Xmas lunch special in December hoping that the butternut squash soup is as nice as the sweetcorn soup.

    Thank you for your positive feedback Rachel and for your kind observations about how hard our team work, we do have such a wonderful team who go above and beyond regularly and work so tightly as a team. We did unfortunately lose one of our staff yesterday due to unforeseen circumstances and apologies for your wait but glad that you enjoyed everything. We hope to see you again soon.

    We've just enjoyed a wonderful Sunday Lunch at Lunar. They've seen some changes and they just might have found their niche. The food was superb, the service was excellent. The ambiance is a little more relaxed that the old Lunar was, and it all worked together perfectly, and the price was right too. So, if it's been a while since you've been there, then give it a try.

    Food was excellent. But come on whilst your young staff were very nice people you must spend more time on training them. Several very basic errors. Serving the right way and side clearing tables especially lacked attention. Knowing what was being served.
